The Japanese site for the Pokémon 151 shirt series has opened, revealing in full the designs for all four shirts in the first set. We think it's interesting to see how different the styles are among the shirts: the Mewtwo and Articuno shirts look like promotional apparel for some European sports team, the Cubone shirt resembles a tattoo more than anything else, and the Hypno shirt has an interesting silhouette style.Oh, and just in case you thought the shirt was a bit creepy before: the full design reveals that he is kidnapping children! Either that or two kids have just decided to follow the mind-controlling monster.

It's really cool except that they don't ship outside of Japan.

It's still Pokemon, which means it can't be cool no matter how hard you try.

I beg to differ. That Cubone design would work well on the mudflap of any semi-truck. I also think the Hypno design above would work well with a mixed crowd since the subtle design doesn't scream pokemon yet the strangeness/creepiness of the picture would arouse the curiosity of those who see it rather than dismissing it as a childish fascination of the wearer.
I approve. If I could approve by giving them money for a shirt, I would. Alas, no shipping to the US.

I don't know about that. :)
To me, being "cool" is about having the self-esteem to be different sometimes.
If you're always following the crowd and watching MTV, then you're not cool ... you're a just a follower and a wannabe.
Where I live, lots of people follow the surf report ... and they have never been on a surfboard (LOL) ... they are just wannabe surfers who like to hang around surfers. Pathetic.
At least I have been on a surfboard (although I'm not good enough to call myself a surfer), But I'm not a wannabe surfer.
I know alot of "cool" people who play Pokemon. :)
Peace.

I know a lot of cute girls that play Pokemon. I guess they're uncool then.

Hypno is innocent until proven guilty.

Nobody will recognize The Sleeper, that T-shirt is absolutely brilliant. I contacted Pokemon151 and Play-Asia, I hope there is a way to get that shirt to Europe...

I thought Pedobear WAS a Pokémon.... Could've sworn I saw an entry for him in my Pokédex...

Dude, these are AWESOME. I LOVE the Articuno one. Is it too much to hope they'll have some at Otakon?
